Drivers

Consumer Demand for Convenience and Safety

• The rising need for smart and easily manageable packing is supplementing the growth of the global baby food packaging market. Parents focus on the availability of such products which can effectively eliminate spills, can be closed and opened again, and are handy so that they can easily feed their child on the go without worrying about the safety and hygiene of the product.

Shift Toward Sustainable Packaging Solutions

• There is a growing trend towards sustainable packaging in the baby food industry due to environmental issues and increased regulations. Parents are increasingly consuming greener alternatives such as biodegradable, recyclable and paper packing materials. And the industry is innovating by creating new packaging that does not contribute to plastic waste, and which meets the increasing sustainability expectations of parents who are concerned about the environment.

Restraints

Limited Consumer Awareness of Sustainable Packaging

• There is a growing trend towards sustainable packaging yet to be felt at the consumer level in terms of awareness of the implications of packaging materials. A number of consumers still focus on the convenience of products rather than green eco-friendly packaging, which is a deterrent to the use of greener packaging and its consequent growth in the market.

Packaging Material Compatibility with Baby Food

• The ability to preserve the freshness, safety, and nutritional value of baby food may not be achieved by some breakthrough packaging materials. Some green alternatives do not possess sufficient barrier properties to avoid deterioration, spoilage, and nutrient loss which affects their convenience within the baby food industry and limits the extent to which certain environmentally friendly packaging can be adopted.
